Epdm Rubber Roofing in Ossett, Wakefield

You might hear us refer to it as Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, but most people just call it EPDM or rubber roofing. Think of it like a giant, indestructible waterproof skin for your property. Unlike felt, which is made of multiple layers and joins, a rubber membrane is usually installed as a single, seamless sheet. Why does that matter? Because joins are where leaks start. When we install a rubber roof on an Ossett extension or dormer, we're removing the weak points. It stays flexible whether it's a freezing January morning or a rare scorching July afternoon, meaning it won't crack, peel, or rot like older materials.

One thing our customers really appreciate is that EPDM is a 'cold-applied' system. If you've ever seen a traditional roof being installed, you'll know it usually involves gas canisters and naked flames to melt the bitumen. It's noisy, smelly, and carries a fire risk. With rubber roofing, we use high-strength, modern adhesives to bond the membrane directly to the roof deck (usually fresh OSB3 boarding). It's a much cleaner, safer, and quieter process. We finish everything off with professional kerb edges and gutter trims, ensuring the water goes exactly where it's supposed to—into your downpipes, not into your brickwork.

Renovation Roofing Ltd isn't some faceless national franchise. We're a fully registered UK company (No: 16557299) based right here in the region, serving Ossett, Horbury, and the wider Wakefield area. Because we're local, we know exactly what the weather on this side of the Pennines can do to a building. Whether you have a Victorian stone property near the town centre or a new-build in Gawthorpe, we tailor our approach to suit your home's character. For total peace of mind, we carry £5 million in public liability insurance, so you know your home is in safe hands while we're on the tools.

A new roof is a big decision, and we get that you want value for money. While EPDM might cost a little more upfront than the cheapest felt, it has a life expectancy of over 50 years. When you spread that cost over five decades, it's easily the most cost-effective choice. Plus, it's virtually maintenance-free. You won't have to deal with moss growth or those annoying stone chippings that always seem to clog up the gutters. We're so confident in the systems we install that we provide a 20-year guarantee, giving you the security of knowing you won't be climbing a ladder to check for leaks anytime soon.
